Abstract

Academic stress is a common challenge among university students, particularly during the transition to higher education. Personality traits have been identified as important psychological factors that influence how students perceive and respond to academic demands. This study examined the relationship between personality and academic stress among freshmen students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management program. Specifically, it sought to determine the level of personality and academic stress among the respondents and assess whether a significant relationship exists between the two variables. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. Sixty freshmen students were selected through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire that underwent expert validation to ensure content validity. Descriptive statistics, including weighted mean and standard deviation, were used to determine the levels of the variables, while the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was employed to test the relationship between personality and academic stress. The findings revealed that the respondents demonstrated an above-average level of personality (M = 3.77, SD = 0.81) and an average level of academic stress (M = 3.13, SD = 0.82). Furthermore, the results showed a statistically significant moderate positive relationship between personality and academic stress (r = .524, p < .001), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The findings suggest that personality traits significantly influence how students perceive and manage academic stress. The study concludes that personality is an important factor in understanding students’ stress experiences and recommends the development of personality-based interventions, counseling programs, and stress-management initiatives to promote student well-being and academic success.
